Psychology Center of Idaho Falls

Dr. Carol Anderson is, without question, one of the most insightful, thorough, and compassionate professionals we’ve ever encountered. Her calm demeanor and deep expertise put us at ease from the moment we walked into her office. She took the time to understand our child as a whole person-not just a checklist of symptoms- and her feedback was thoughtful, research-based, and incredibly validating. What sets Dr. Anderson apart is her ability to translate complex neuropsychological findings into clear, practical guidance for families. She was never rushed and made sure we fully understood the assessment results and in turn, helped us advocate for services and support. Her report was detailed, precise, and accepted immediately by other providers, which speaks volumes about her reputation and professionalism. If you’re looking for someone with true clinical excellence, deep empathy, and the ability to make a real difference, I cannot recommend her enough!!

My experience here was less than ample and I think people should know. I went here a year ago to see if my sustained head trauma was causing my mental disorders to worsen, like it had before (a diagnosis I got from another clinic that did brain mapping). This was not the place to go. I expected brain mapping and other extensive neurological testing to be done. None of that happened. After some written IQ tests, an hour long psych (multiple choice type) test, a small physical test, and a very brief speaking session with Dr. Carol Anderson, I was basically told that I was "attention seeking" because I scored out of the norm on the psychological test I took, and (despite not knowing my complete medical history) that my head trauma never affected my mental health disorders and that there was never any correlation from my head injury years ago affecting my disorders in the first place, magnifying them (even though there was and I had the brain mapping and history to prove it) , nor did I have BPD. After explaining to her my symptoms of BPD, which I KNEW I have, which I never had the opportunity to discuss with her previously, she changed her mind right then and diagnosed me with BPD (borderline personality disorder). Extremely unprofessional. If she was a professional, she would have been able to recognize the state that I was in at that time and perhaps would have taken my case more seriously, not that I believe there was anything more they could do there as they are basically a sham. Don't go here for anything neurological, head trauma, or psych related.
